Last year September lo Supreme court final ga voters valaki e candidate nachakapotey NOTA ane option use cheyochu, which means none of the above annamata. The court even directed the Election Commission to have this option ‘None Of The Above’ (NOTA) on EVMs and ballot papers. Recent ga Vijay Devarakonda deni medhe oka movie kuda chestuna and announced it as the title. Now, here we are going to share the things that every voter should know about NOTA.
1. Electronic Voting Machines ki candidates list tarvata we can see this NOTA option. First lo if you want to cast a negative ballot, presiding officer evaraitey akada untaro, valani inform cheyali, but NOTA ki a officer involvement avasaram ledu.
